Cyclocross disc frames and pics!

Didn’t someone start a list of currently available disc ready frames?
I have searched but I cant find it, i know of
Boardman
kinesis
genesis
on one
lynskey
tricross and Crux in usa only.
Cotic x

What else it there, ideally more race ready than touring?

colnago prestige. oh yes… 8)

Condor’s Bivio-X is available with disc mounts.

Shand also do 1 but i cant remember the name.

Ooh i like the condor!
Colnago is nice to [but out of my price range]
EDIT-Condor also have the Terra-x available with disk mounts. It looks lovely in brown!

I went for the kinesis crosslight pro 6 in the end:

Oooh, I was fondling a Kinesis Pro6 yesterday in Ride On in Rawtenstall. I’m going to wait until Shimano launch their hydraulic road brake though.

I notice you’ve a fair stack of spacers on the stem; how do you reckon the position will turn out? I don’t want anything too racy as this will be my winter trainer/tourer/possible CXer.

Thanks organic.
I cant believe you have not built it yet!! Looking nice.
Spoke to upgrade yesterday and they say 8 weeks till the pro 6 is back in stock.
Think i have fallen for the condor terra x now so ive emailed them.

One other option – standard frame with adapter

Maybe not what I’d advise in an ideal world but a relatively cheap way of doing it if you get a second hand frame.

lovely

Just whacked them all on to start with and going to progressively lower it until its right. The seatpost in the pic is way to high for my hobbit legs anyway so everything will prob drop quite a bit.

Once Ive got the wheels on I will get a better feel of how high I want the stem. its all a bit of an experiment at the minute, not sure if the stem is even the right length (100mm) and angle, as it seems a lot shallower angle than my road bike stem.

Thanks organic.

See my other post about bits getting lost in the post!! Most of the other bits should arrive today (or sit in the delivery office until saturday!)

Just waiting on a wheelset from JRA, then I will nearly be there. Then just gotta decide cable or hydraulic discs, but nobody seems to know when SRAM reds hydraulics will be out???

Remember the On-One Uncle John has a disc tab on the frame (though not on the fork).

Am going to hold out for a while yet until there’s lots of choice. But that Condor…. 😛

Bit more versatile than the average CX frame – but the Singular Peregrine is perhaps also worth considering.

Sam, i think the kite would be a great bike for me with discs… any plans?

– nearly bought one but couldn’t source any carbon disk forks in UK at the time and I’d rather not ride a non-carbon fork
ended up with pro6 as a frameset couldn’t resist

somewhere in the last thread on this someone posted a picture of i think a very nice rose bikes disk cx

Soma Double Cross

Whyte do a few cross/commuter bikes with disc brakes. I bought the Kings Cross one to do some road/off road stuff straight from the door and it is pretty fun. May need some better tires, thinking about some Kenda small block 8s.

Bruk, do you mean one of these?

Got one too. It’s not really a traditional cross bike, more a mongrel of cross and mountain bike, so maybe not for a racer. I like mine a lot….

Not an out-and-out cross racer, but it does me as a winter/commuter/tourer/off-roader

Some very vague ones, possibly something between the current Kite and Peregrine which may replace them both… How many 700c drop barred, disc-equipped, multi-purpose bikes can you have in one product line?

These are Deddacciai Super Cross. proper cross racing bikes, frames weight a sniff over 1kg and forks 425g in XL.

I got sick of having a wet arse so fitted mudguards. Do it all bike.

Shand also do 1 but i cant remember the name.

jebus that shand is the usual collection of straight tubes in triangles, how come it looks so pretty?!

If you can cope with dealing with Halfords the Boardman is a cracking bike.

That Shand is lovely!
Liking the Hope stickered bikes to.

Wheel recommendations please.

Will be doing a lot of road miles and have just ordered a Pro6 at a bargainal £459.

Bruk, Schwalbe Smart Sams, no other reason than they were cheap from On-One. Work OK on and off road.

Cheers LitteTones, looking for something that’s still ok on road because that’s where most of the time is spent right now. Off to the on-one shop then.

My new build. Loads of fun, and feels fast. Serious amount of toe-overlap and I’m used to overlap, so had to get shorter cranks. Quite a bit of paint chip before being ridden in anger.
Hoping to love it as much as the Swift.

This is about the 3rd post on this topic, so I’ll trot out my usual pic of my Pro6, now 6 months old.

That Shand does look lovely – like the colour. You racing it in 2012? Edinburgh 48 next week?

had this for a few months now really pleased with it though i do like the look of the kinesis and also the planet x dirty disco

Good thread.

I’m almost finihsed a Planet X Uncle John build, with Riser bars and hydraulic disc brakes.
It will be my ” get around ” bike.

I’m already planning my next bike.
I want a road bike, with Hydraulic disc brakes.
I’ve been surfing and it seems that some of the manufs are looking at hydraulic brake levers, but some seem to be aiming to use hydro brakes in conjunction with Di2.

I want hydro, disc brakes, with cable operated gears.
On a road bike.
So far its looking like SRAM, if they, when they, bring it out.

Anyone else looking for a road bike, not cyclocorss.
With hydro brakes, cable operated mechs ?.
( I’m not interested in the – Are hydro brakes really needed for road bikes, discussion )
😉

Yep, there’ll be at least one Stooshie there, probably not me though.
